General Information and Instructions for Completing Application Form
Section 1: Type of Contract / Plan
Only one type of contract and one plan may be selected per contract application. By default, the contract shall be designated as a “client” type contract.
All Nominee contracts shall be opened as non-registered (INV) plans at SSQ, Life Insurance Company (SSQ).

Three types of contracts are available:
1) Client: Contract undertaken in the name of the investor. There may be more than one investor for the same contract, in which case the additional investors
   act in the capacity of co-investors;
2) Nominee/Dealer: Contract undertaken by a dealer in an SSQ INV Plan for a person who invests in an external account held by the dealer or the dealer’s
   trustee;
3) Nominee/Intermediary: Contract undertaken by an intermediary in an SSQ INV Plan for a person who invests in an external account held by the
   intermediary.

SSQ offers a choice of registered retirement plans and also offers a non-registered investment plan. Only locked-in sums may be paid into an SSQ LIRA, SSQ LIF,
SSQ PRRIF or SSQ LRIF.

Following are the different plans available according to the applicable annuity legislation. The expression “pension legislation” refers to pension plan
legislation that is applicable in Canada. If you don’t know the applicable pension legislation, the administrator from whom the amounts originated will have this
information.

Section 2: Guarantee
Please refer to the Information Folder for the ASTRA Guaranteed Income product for guarantee terms and conditions.

Section 3: Investor
The investor must always be present at the time of the contract application. In accordance with this contract, the investor, and the co-investor, where applicable,
is (are) the contractholder(s) of the contract, i.e. the person(s) entitled to a claim corresponding to the value of the investments held at SSQ. The investor is also
the annuity grantee, i.e. the person entitled to receive the annuity payments. For all of the registered pension plans offered by SSQ, that is the SSQ RSP, SSQ LIRA,
SSQ RIF, SSQ LIF, SSQ PRRIF and SSQ LRIF, only a “physical person” (individual) may apply and the annuitant must be the same person as the investor and the
annuity grantee. Canada Revenue requires the SIN for tax purposes.

In the case where the investor is a corporation or another entity, only a non-registered plan may be opened, a company resolution must be included and the
“Verification of the Existence (Identity) of Corporations or Other Entities” form (FRA1235) must be completed. In addition, Section 5 must be completed.

For the SSQ INV plan, a piece of identification must be submitted to the financial security advisor in compliance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering)
and Terrorist Financing Act, under sections 83.1 and 83.11 of the Criminal Code. For RIF, LIF, PRRIF and LRIF Plans, this piece of identification is necessary to validate
the age of the person on which the minimum income payments are calculated.

Section 4: Other Parties to the Contract
This section must be completed under the following specific circumstances:

Payer (spousal RSP or RIF): In the case of a spousal RSP or a spousal RIF, this section must obligatorily be completed.

Spouse (RIF/LIF/PRRIF/LRIF): If the SSQ RIF, SSQ LIF, SSQ PRRIF or SSQ LRIF minimum income payment calculation is based on the age of the spouse, this section
must be completed. A copy of the birth certificate of the spouse must be attached. If this section is not completed, the minimum income payment calculation will
be based on the age of the investor.

Co-investor: Where more than one investor exists for a non-registered plan, the name and address of each co-investor and the sharing ratio applicable to each
must be included. In the absence of any other instructions in Section 10, the tax forms will be issued to the investor specified in Section 3. In the absence of any
instructions as to the sharing ratio, the investment will be presumed to be made in equal portions. In addition, any co-investor(s) must sign Section 12.
Legal representative, tutor, curator or trustee: In this section, include the name and contact information of the legal representative, tutor, curator or trustee,
as applicable. The name and contact information of the person presumed incapable of making investment decisions or of the investor who is being represented
must be included under Section 3. A copy of the legal act assigning the power of representation must be attached.

For the SSQ INV plan, a piece of identification for the co-investor or trusteee must be submitted to the financial security advisor in compliance with the Proceeds
of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, under sections 83.1 and 83.11 of the Criminal Code.

Section 5: Annuitant
Under the SSQ Annuity Contract, the annuitant is the physical person (individual) upon whose life the annuity and guarantee relative to segregated funds are
established and upon whose death the death benefit is payable. For SSQ RSP, SSQ LIRA, SSQ RIF, SSQ LIF, SSQ PRRIF or SSQ LRIF plans, the annuitant is the same
person as the investor, therefore it is not necessary to indicate this. In the case of an SSQ INV Plan, complete this section only if the annuitant is not the same
person as the investor, for example in the case where the investor is a legal person (company).

Section 6: Benefit Upon Death of Annuitant
This section need only be completed for “client” type applications, by the investor, or by the investor and the co-investor, should one exist. In the event that the
investor has not designated a beneficiary, the benefit payable upon the death of the annuitant is distributed, where applicable, to the estate of the investor, in
accordance with applicable legislation. Specific provisions are provided for in the contract to determine if the rights conferred under the annuity contract may be
exempt from seizure due to a beneficiary designation, subject to all related applicable legislation.

In Quebec, if the beneficiary designation made by investor does not indicate whether the beneficiary is revocable or irrevocable, then the designation of the
investor’s married spouse or civil-union spouse is irrevocable, while the designation of any other beneficiary is revocable.

However, in the case of an SSQ LIRA, SSQ LIF, SSQ PRRIF or SSQ LRIF additional provisions apply and are described in the SSQ Annuity Contract as well under
applicable pension legislation. With respect to a LIRA, I understand that my spouse is my sole beneficiary regardless of any other beneficiary I have named (unless
my spouse has waived his/her entitlement in writing) and that the consent of my spouse may be required to make a total or partial withdrawal of the funds in
my account.

If the contract is a “nominee” type, the benefit payable upon the death of the annuitant is distributed according to the fiduciary record of the contract held by
the dealer or intermediary.

SSQ assumes no responsibility as to the legality or validity of a beneficiary designation or of a beneficiary change. It also assumes no responsibility relative to
any death benefit payable and paid by a dealer/intermediary.

Section 7: Source of Monies
Indicate the source of monies and attach the appropriate forms, as applicable. For example, the Canada Revenue Agency T2151 form (or equivalent) must be used
for transfers from a DPSP and the T2033 form (or equivalent) must be used for transfers from an RSP or an RIF.

Section 8: Lump-Sum Investments
Select the investment vehicle(s) you want to invest in. For more information about ASTRA Funds, refer to the Information Folder.

Section 9: Automatic Periodic Transaction (APT)
All of the information requested in subsections A, B, C, D, E or F, must be provided, where applicable. In the case of an SSQ RIF, SSQ LIF, SSQ PRRIF or SSQ LRIF
this section must obligatorily be completed. Select the investment vehicle(s) you want to invest in.

For more information about ASTRA Funds and automatic periodic transaction modalities, refer to the Information Folder.

In Subsection C, attach a copy of the birth certificate(s) or, in the absence of such, the financial security advisor must verify the investor’s and the spouse’s date
of birth, if applicable, entering the documents used for such verification in Section 3.

Section 10: Additional Instructions
Be sure to include any additional comments or instructions concerning your application request.

Section 11: Dealer/Advisor
This section must obligatorily be completed. If the contract is a “Nominee/Dealer” or “Nominee/Intermediary” type, the Dealer or Intermediary acting in such
capacity has the right to carry out any transaction relative to the property that he has been mandated to manage by the investor in accordance with the latter’s
instructions at the time of the contract application.

Section 12: Authorizations and Signatures
Read this section and the Declaration carefully before dating and signing the contract application. The financial security advisor, investor and co-investor, where
applicable, must also all date and sign the contract application. If any of these required signatures are missing, the investments may not be made.

In some provinces, the spouse’s consent is necessary for the registration of a locked-in plan. If applicable, the spouse must sign this section or the appropriate
authorization form as indicated on this Application Form.
